The Mastery of Ajrakh Hand-Block Printing

Ajrakh printing is a labor-intensive art involving multiple stages of resist dyeing, block carving, and precise alignment to create symmetrical, double-sided patterns. This Ajrakh dupatta showcases classic motifs in rich maroon, indigo, and white—colors extracted from natural sources like madder root, indigo, and pomegranate.

Skilled artisans from Kutch and Rajasthan hand-carve teak wood blocks and layer prints over days, resulting in breathable, eco-friendly fabric with a subtle sheen unique to Chanderi silk.4
